It's time to prepare some defense as the Siege update is now live in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. A new PvE experience opens up to all players as they fight and survive against impossible odds. This three-player mode has everyone face ever deadlier waves of not only Tyranid but also the Thousand Sons.
How it works is that the battle itself happens within a fortified Imperial stronghold on Kadaku. It's going to face relentless attacks by endless waves of Tyranid and Thousand Sons enemies. The fortress itself has three rotating sectors which are Defensive Positions, the Arsenal, and the Control Room. In each sector, players face five waves of enemies with the fifth one introducing boss battles. Surviving means they advance to the next sector. It then cycles back to reinforce earlier positions.
The increasingly challenging enemy waves that players face include direct assaults from Tyranids along with cunning sabotage by Chaos forces. There's going to be brief intermissions between waves to offer strategic opportunities. There's also going to be dynamic tasks like capturing strategic points or retrieving Data-slates from fallen allies. These result in deepening tactical gameplay and getting those critical resources that's essential for continued survival.
Shopping for Success
For each successful combat player can earn Siege Mode resources. Finishing Side Objectives also result in getting the same resources. These can then be used at the fortress Shop to buy ammunition, medicae stimms, equipment, armour boosts, and guardian relics. Resources can also be used to summon specialized Space Marines that provide targeted support and bonuses. It's important to note that each player can have only one summoned Space Marine. Players can make use of them to deploy Cadian Troopers to provide additional firepower.
Then there's collectively pooling resources to release the devastating power of a Dreadnought.
